French Open: Iga Swiatek Turns Pink at Crowd’s Generous Act to Make Her Birthday Extra Special

Iga Swiatek’s recent presence at the Philippe Chatrier turned into a birthday bash. It has been just a while since the Pole secured her third-round victory over Marie Bouzkova. Besides the victory, the WTA star had another big reason to be all smiles as she completed one more year in this world today. While she seemed to be fierce toward the crowd in her last match, the spectators didn’t seem to hold any grudges.

Iga Swiatek recently secured a position in the fourth round by serving her Czechian rival with a straight-set defeat. Soon after she took center stage as a victor, the local crowd surprised her by singing the birthday chorus. “Happy birthday to you,” the crowd sang all together, making her day even more special.

While the world no.1 barely expected such a surprise, she couldn’t stop herself from blushing, as she raised both her hands like an orchestra conductor, jamming along with the immense crowd in Paris. This incident not only treated her with a beautiful moment but also proved that the local fans have no hate for her.

Iga Swaitek hit a massive feat by gaining her 31st win on the Parisian clay. While her portfolio is already decorated with three massive wins on the same ground from 2020, 2022, and 2023, the unique support from fans made it clear that she is undoubtedly their beloved warrior.

Swiatek recently slammed the French crowd by mentioning, “Sometimes under a lot of pressure, when you scream something during the rally or right before the return, it’s really hard to be focused.” While the crowd returned back to her with such a lovable response, they seemed to have a mutual understanding with the defending champion. However, it isn’t just the French crowd who played the birthday jingles for the Pole.

It has been quite a while since Iga Swiatek signed a deal with renowned brand Lego.

A post on X shows an animated video containing several visuals including the world no.1’s massive presence on the courts along with her widely known fanship for Rafael Nadal and several other aspects.

“On the occasion of your birthday we wish you all the best and we send them straight from the court! We wish you many bagels and baguettes and may you have many titles in your collection,” the floating captions said.

Everyone who stepped forward to wish Iga Swiatek on her special day tried to match her spirits. As the tennis star now looks forward to defending her title at Roland Garros, it still remains to be seen if she has more surprises waiting.
